Natural epigenetic polymorphisms lead to intraspecific variation in Arabidopsis gene imprinting

Natural epigenetic polymorphisms lead to intraspecific variation in Arabidopsis gene imprinting

Imprinted gene expression occurs during seed development in plants and is associated with differential DNA methylation of parental alleles, particularly at proximal transposable elements (TEs). Imprinting variability could contribute to observed parent-of-origin effects on seed development. We inves...
